A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with a health issue that required him to go on a Gluten free diet.

I was just wondering what people think about filtering finished beer. I have a wine filter, the Bon Vino type, that takes the 5 inch square filters with the 2 holes. Normally I kill the yeast, add clearing agent and let the finished beer sit in the beer fridge for about a week. Then I filter it into a cornelius keg, and carbonate. Usually I use just 2 of the filter pads ( filter unit is set up for 3 filter pads ) and use the #2 filters. This seems to work great for me, nice clear beer. I am just curious if other brewers filter their beer, and how. Is it even necessary to bother with filtering? Does it hurt to filter the beer?, maybe causes off-flavors or strips some flavor out of the beer. What do you think?
